Money Changes Everything: Twenty-two Writers Break the Final Taboo--How Money Transforms Families, Tests Marriages, Destroys Friendships, and Sometimes Manages to Make People Happy edited by Jenny Offill and Elissa Schappell

 

I read these essays in fits and starts. (I am adapting to an upgrade in responsibility.) My opinion about money is: 1) it is an incredible tool and 2) it magnifies the truth of a person if they acquire much of it. Stay humble about blessed circumstances because none of us have immunity to unpleasant events.

One lesson from hard times: it is hard to go to sleep on a hungry stomach.
